There is nothing wrong with taking a bath, eating a chicken or shaving your junk! Seriously, why can't I go to an event without the dirt kidds riding me about my impact on the planet BC I make my hygiene a daily concern?

I sit and hope that an alligator will pop out of the water and attack you from behind the entire time I am smiling and agreeing with your over bearing views about my personal practices and how they damage the environment.

I'm willing to wager that I impact the environment far less than you do!

Posted:6th Jul 2010Originally Posted By: FireTom I could envision hordes of little pixies guiding you back to where you once belonged

Are you kidding? The pixies are what got me lost in the first place! I was wondering around the forest for ages before I came down and found a road.

I am a reformed raver that is now a hippy (I have the dreads and everything now)

and I often look back to my rave days and my fluoro pants and wonder if I was the one enjoying myself, or whether it was just the drugs I was taking, and it makes a big difference to me now. cause it all seems so fake now and that all my experiences were not real (a lot of them weren't)

It kinda makes taking drugs worthless IMHO

oh, and my body is a temple. blah blah blah....It only accepts offerings of coffee and spicy foods now.

What does some Pop/Mainstream concert like Glastonbury have to do with either scene? I mean like... I don't get it...

Anyways I do have an issue with lacks of cleanliness saying it's for the greater good because while moderating our usage of soap and water is nice and such, being disrespectful to society by being smelly and germ ridden is just insane. Not that this issue doesn't happen to everyone time to time, but seriously when it's done on purpose it's seriously demented in it's own way...

Unless you don't contaminate the non-consenting public we do have a right to hold issues if you invade our space with such.

~Rock on!~

Posted:6th Jul 2010<---has a recipe for a superb laundry soap that costs about $1.00 per gallon to make. I should start just giving it to friends so they do less damage to the water. I already give away a grip of lye and potash soap.

Posted:6th Jul 2010I think that is the general feeling on labels. I don't mind being labled, it's inevitable, but I do mind someone preaching to me about how to live and think based on their assumptions.

Posted:6th Jul 2010 kids need labels - and those only growing old, they need them even harder 'cause they never manage to grow up

RC your american eyes miss the details in my numbers: 1,6 not 1.6 was what I was writing... and it's not "the total number" but "at one given time" ... demographics of DE vs US now spared.

unseen - bm is epic too

it's finally a rainy day in Berlin and it's sooo amazing because the recent heat was quite dreadful on the earth... but I suspect you haven't learned to feel happy from the inside and dance in the rain (uffie - saying it and the sun literally breaks trough the clouds)... Maybe you're not able to feel euphoria in the middle of a forest, never hugged a tree and felt its power, patience and love for the mother. Maybe you still need to generate this euphoria by taking stuff? Wait some time, eventually you'll get there by "sharing" and "giving"

@ Oz - even if RC's claim is true that you try hard to be like the Us ... having travelled you both... I really hope you manage to keep your own identity

A good party is a good party - and I never took size nor music over people creating the vibe...

ah - rebellious adolescent little buggers - I remember you sitting at the circle with BIG eyes gazing at the firedancers... now that you got some skills on your own you need to rub on us? Prove you got the balls? From behind your keyboard ??????? here - have another candy, raver - wait, pick your colour

I covet what I see everyday. I really do take American eyes as a compliment.

Remove all the BS dots and tell me what you come up with FT.

But I will 'give' you a victory on 1.6 million BC I omitted that I read that to see if I could get away with it.

Don't get me started on BM! It's a total sham!

Is it raining in 'Shanti' town? You may want to stay indoors and cook all day, but if you do that, you may not get a hippie bath. Strange, I thought you were in Munich though. But seriously, spare me the rubbish about the forest and euphoria.

FT, we've been 'sharing' ever since I can remember posting.

Posted:7th Jul 2010Haha I've met some pretty awesome hippies myself One time I had a hippie that worked at a 711 commenting on my bone necklace I couldn't help but laugh at how she talked afterward because it was the most stereotypical hippie voice I've ever heard

Posted:7th Jul 2010Originally Posted By: Refuge CrewOriginally Posted By: FTEspecially when they pick on Hippies or the UK party scene...

Go back and read to see what brought on the UK party scene squabble

You know what a hippie is?!? (sarcasm)

not me... but you tell me who put up a squabble by choosing such catchy title, mister why don't you just peacefully tell your opinion to the next Hippie face2face than going on insulting me friends from the comfort of your keyboard?

Posted:7th Jul 2010FT you so frequently put up your own provocative posts, that I admittedly troll on occasion. I was simply retaliating. Don't attack me, I won't attack you Frankly, you're not fit to speak of peace to me.

And these people, in these pictures, are wannabes having fun. They usually become productive drones or hippies about the time they've had one bad trip too many.

They were considered posers before I became a part of the game in the late 90s and honestly ruin the scene's dignity, integrity, and true essence...

However since we're all inclusive I'm polite and let it slide, won't let obnoxious kids with shady motives ruin a good night, music, and dancing for me. It's a waste and counterproductive for everyone when you can just live and let live, not too many candy kids at the parties I attend because they aren't into the music and other parts of the scene that draws me in personally.

You won't see an etard in a dance battle or circle. You won't see a friendlier rivalry than that amongst the househeads and breakers! You also won't see the candy ravers within' the trance tribes either, the congregate in their own corner within the subculture.

~Rock on!~
